out of time

Chapter 586 You are afraid, I am also afraid

Inside the Tucheng Pharmacy, everything was quiet.

Miao Miao shook a few times and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she poked out the branch curiously and peeked at the back room secretly.

After waiting for a while, it found that there was still no sound there. It carefully pulled out its roots from the soil, as if it had finally waited for the opportunity and planned to escape.

But just when all its roots were uprooted and it jumped out of the flower pot in a single jump, just as it was about to leave quietly, a murderous intent emanated from the beam in an instant.

The fused fish bone of the Vajra Sect ancestor appeared in front of Xiao Miao, with the tip of the bone pointing at its body.

Miao Miao's body trembled, and she slowly climbed back into the flower pot, put her roots back in as she pulled them out, and then continued to shake as if to please her.

The fishbone circled around it a few times and returned to the beam in a flash.

"If this little thing escapes, the evil star will turn his back on me." The Vajra Sect patriarch sneered in his heart, then looked towards the back room.

Because of the hidden existence, he couldn't detect the details, but with the secret connection with Xu Qing, he faintly felt that there was no breath of Xu Qing in the back room.

This is true.

There was no one in the back room, and it was not the consciousness that entered the crack in the mirror, but the bodies of Xu Qing and Ling'er.

This is also the magic of the Moon Palace.

But at this moment, the journey to this magical place did not give Xu Qing a very good feeling.

He felt that he had entered a narrow place full of squeeze, and the surroundings shone with light, turning into a wall of light, enveloping him.

The curved wall of light formed a circle, and at the same time it was extremely hard, and at the same time, it also firmly bound Xu Qing's body, unable to move, as if stuck there.

The more he struggled, the stronger the bondage became, as if he could not move forward but could only retreat.

Xu Qing frowned, he didn't expect to appear in such a ghostly place after entering the crack.

"Is this the third assessment?"

Xu Qing was thoughtful. He studied the mirror some time ago and felt that there were three items in the assessment. He found out the details of the first two items, but he didn't know anything about the third item.

So after pondering, Xu Qing tried to disperse his consciousness, the process was not easy, squeezed from all directions, not only bound his physical body, but also his perception.

Especially the walls of light around here are powerful, and the spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate, but fortunately, the front is still smooth, so in his little attempts, the spiritual consciousness spreads forward.

Finally, through continuous efforts, he gradually perceives where he is.

"A pipe?"

Xu Qing was taken aback for a moment, and with the help of his spiritual sense, he realized that where he was was a long and thin pipe.

As for the end, it was beyond the scope of his divine sense and could not be explored, but the vast fluctuations faintly transmitted made him guess that it should be the Niyue Temple he was going to.

"It's interesting. It seems that this is indeed the third assessment. If you can't walk through this pipeline, you won't be eligible to enter the Moon Palace."

Xu Qing's eyes showed a bright light. He wanted to join Niyue Temple at first because Duanmuzang said that the people of Niyue Temple have studied curses for generations, and they have a deep understanding of curses.

So Xu Qing planned to go there to get some information about the curse. After all, research by one person is not as good as a group of people who spent countless years pondering and analyzing it.

This has a great effect on Xu Qing's mastery of the curse, and can save a lot of time.

But now, besides needing information about the curse, he is also curious about the Niyue Palace itself.

"No wonder the senior brother also wants to join."

Xu Qing's gaze was firm, the cultivation base in his body exploded, and his physical body soared even more. With the help of this divine body, he suppressed it in the opposite direction.

As the booming sound echoed, Xu Qing's body trembled. The walls around him were too hard. Even if he tried his best, he still couldn't stretch it far, and his body only swelled to a height of half a foot.

The limit has been reached.

And the feeling of being strongly squeezed on the body and soul made Xu Qing's heart involuntarily aroused with hostility, and he retracted his body suddenly, making himself return to normal from half a foot in an instant.

The surrounding walls also quickly retracted, but there was still some gap between them after all.

With the help of the gap between the retraction of the wall, Xu Qing raised his right hand, and the cultivation in his body was running. Except for Ziyue, the other Nascent Souls erupted and punched forward.

This punch gathered the power of the drug ban, Ghost Emperor Mountain, Heavenly Dao, Time Bottle and Golden Crow, as well as the power of his life lamp, forming a storm and roaring forward.

The crackling sound spread, Xu Qing rushed out, and stepped forward several feet from where he was. As the sense of restraint shrouded again, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and continued to move forward in the same way.

I don't know how long it has passed, Xu Qing roared all the way, constantly forcibly blasting the way forward, although the steps were difficult, he finally walked out of Baizhang.

After arriving here, he was exhausted, felt the distant end, Xu Qing had to sigh, chose to leave, returned to the pharmacy, and continued to enter the mirror after resting.

The place opened up before did not disappear with Xu Qing's return again. He gritted his teeth fiercely at Baizhang's position, his eyes showed firmness, and continued to bombard forward.

Just like that, the days passed by.

Ling'er doesn't need to follow her every time, with her mark, Xu Qing can go alone, so Ling'er reopened the pharmacy.

It's just that sometimes she still looks back to the back room to pay attention to brother Xu Qing's progress.

"This Niyue Palace is so difficult. With Brother Xu Qing's ability, he hasn't entered for so long." Ling'er sighed deeply in her heart, and similar sighs also arose in Xu Qing's heart many times.

Half a month later, Xu Qing, who opened the road leading to Niyue Temple almost three thousand feet away amidst the increasingly intense roar, returned to the pharmacy again. The moment he appeared, he sat down cross-legged out of breath, with a vision in his eyes. Bloodshot.

"It's only 7000% blasted away, and there are still more than [-] feet away from the end."

"Those who can enter the Niyue Temple must be peerless experts, at least they must all be spirit treasures?"

Xu Qing's awe rose from the bottom of his heart, and he looked forward to this organization more and more. He felt that any one who could successfully pass the third assessment and open this path to enter was an extraordinary generation.

"I can too!"

Xu Qing looked decisive, stepped into the mirror again after a break, and continued to bombard.

The repeated behavior also allowed Xu Qing to gain experience. Under this continuous pressure, his physical body became stronger, and the size that he could support after swelling also increased from half a foot to ten feet.

In this way, his speed also increased a lot, until another half a month passed, and he successfully blasted this principle to the range of eight thousand feet.

Standing there, he turned his head and looked at the way he came from, only feeling extremely difficult, and then raised his head to perceive the two thousand feet away, and his heart became more and more awed by the people in Niyue Palace.

"There are still two thousand feet left, I hope that there is the Niyue Palace!"

In the distance, at the end of the road that Xu Qing forcibly blasted away, the place where it connects is indeed the Niyue Palace.

The Niyue Hall is a separate space, the vastness of which is astonishing, and there is a huge mountain of indescribable size.

There are [-] ancient temples built on this huge mountain. Although there is a distance between them, they are still densely packed when viewed from a distance.

Every temple in it is full of vicissitudes, as if the long river of time has flowed here without beginning and end.

Some of those temples shone brightly, while others were pitch black, and those temples with light seemed to have statues placed inside, exuding splendor.

Sometimes there are statues coming out of the temple, flying in this world, and going to other temples.

They are often covered with soft light all over their bodies, and they have a sacred meaning, and they have different shapes. From a distance, they look like thousands of gods and demons.

And at the bottom of this giant mountain, there are the most temples, half of which are dim and half of which are shining.

Among them is a temple, which stands among the many shining temples.

It was unremarkable at first, but during this month, it attracted the attention of statues in other temples around it.

Because it is too loud.

At this moment, when Xu Qing continued to forcibly open the passage, a huge roar spread from this ordinary temple and spread nearby, and the sound continued.

"It's coming again!" In the surrounding temples, three or five statues stepped out immediately, glaring at the roaring temples.

"Damn, this guy is endless, what is he doing!"

"It's been a month. If this person wants to enter, he must enter quickly, and constantly bombard the light of receiving and guiding. What is he thinking?"

"Neuropathy!"

"There must be something wrong with your brain!"

As the roar became more intense, more statues walked out of the nearby temples, and they all looked over helplessly.

"I've never seen anything like this before. For us, the guide passage can be walked through in an instant. Why is this person rushing around like this?"

"Is it to show your combat power?"

"But there's nothing to show about this. The Niyue Palace has been without an owner for many years, and the spirit of the weapon is sleeping. It only provides the most basic capabilities, and in order to maintain continuous operation, the light of receiving and guiding is determined according to the cultivation level of the examiner. Just so that the examiner can be brought up without any hindrance."

"This guy can walk up as long as he takes a step. Why is he booming while walking, as if it is extremely difficult!"

During this discussion, the roar continued and became more intense.

The nearby statues frowned one by one, but they were helpless. They were not allowed to enter the temple before it was opened, so they could only choose to return one by one, not to listen to the annoying roar.

Fortunately, this time it didn't last too long. After the roar reverberated for another two hours, it quieted down.

Xu Qing was tired.

Panting heavily, looking at the remaining distance of more than 1000 feet, he chose to return.

The moment she appeared in the back room of the pharmacy, Xu Qing showed firmness in her eyes.

"Up to three or four days, it will definitely be blasted away!"

Thinking of finally being able to pass the third test, Xu Qing felt very emotional, he felt that it was too difficult.

"After entering, you must be more cautious and vigilant, the people inside... are not easy to mess with."

Xu Qing looked solemn, and before he closed his eyes and meditated to recuperate, he dispersed his consciousness and scanned outside the eye medicine shop.

There are some people in line.

As word-of-mouth spread of the medicine store in Tucheng, the business has been getting better and better, especially the faction of the middle-aged monk who bought the detoxification pill from him, because he successfully resolved the crisis, it has become more and more sympathetic to Xu Qing's side. Respectfully.

Intimidated by them, many small powers did not dare to mess with the pharmacies. With their protection, the sale of elixir was extremely smooth, basically selling hundreds of elixir every day.

Fortunately, Xu Qing has a lot of stocks, and occasionally makes a shot.

As for medicinal herbs, besides his own accumulation over the years, he also has external acquisitions.

Although they didn't receive much, the middle-aged monk Chen Fanzhuo came occasionally, and every time he was very polite and respectful, he brought a lot of herbs.

Sometimes when Xu Qing was not around, he knew it was inconvenient to disturb after delivering the herbs, so he clasped his fists at Ling'er, turned and left.

Such a sense of propriety makes it difficult for people to feel bad. At this moment, the figure of Chen Fanzhuo reappeared at the door. He did not rely on his identity and cultivation to ignore the people queuing outside, but waited aside.

He didn't go into the pharmacy until he was free.

"Uncle Chen." Ling'er looked up, saw the middle-aged monk, and greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Linger, is the master still making alchemy?" Chen Fanzhuo asked politely, took out a bag full of herbs, put it behind the counter, and glanced at the back room.

Just as Ling'er was about to speak, she seemed to be looking into something, when the curtain in the back room was lifted, and Xu Qing came out.

"Greetings, master." Chen Fanzhuo looked solemn, and greeted him with fists cupped.

Xu Qing nodded, his eyes swept over the other party, and his heart moved.

This Chen Fanzhuo had poison in his body last time, and according to his detoxification pill, the poison should have dissipated now, but now, not only some of the poison remained, but also new poison.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, raised his right hand, took out a white pill, and handed it over.

"Put it in your mouth, rotate your cultivation base in reverse to form a small Zhoutian, and let it melt slowly."

Chen Fanzhuo was stunned, he heard something was wrong from Xu Qing's words, so he hesitated for a while, took the pill and put it in his mouth, and operated his cultivation according to Xu Qing's request.

After a while, the elixir in his mouth completely dissolved and spread throughout his body, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

"Cultivation gathered the index finger of the right hand, took out a drop of blood, and fell on this leaf."

Xu Qing raised his hand and took out a yellow herb, and after putting it aside, Chen Fanzhuo pricked his index finger immediately without any hesitation, and a drop of black blood overflowed from the wound.

The unpleasant smell spread, and Chen Fanzhuo's expression changed drastically when he smelled it. He thought his poison had been cured, but looking at it this way, it was clearly still there.

So he didn't dare to be careless, and quickly smeared the drop of blood on the yellow herbal medicine Xu Qing gave.

The moment the blood touched the medicinal herb, the medicinal herb made a sizzling sound, and a puff of green smoke rose up, wriggling in mid-air, and there was a faint roar echoing from the soul.

Looking at this scene, Chen Fanzhuo shrank his eyes, and waved his hands in a posture of protecting his surroundings, as if he didn't want the weirdness in the green smoke to pollute the pharmacy.

Although this action is a little fake, but the attitude revealed is very correct.

Xu Qing glanced at him, took out a transparent elixir bottle, shook it for a while and opened it, the aura coming out of it seemed to have a strong attraction to the green smoke.

So in the next moment, the cloud of green smoke went straight to the pill bottle in Xu Qing's hand, and after melting into it in the blink of an eye, Xu Qing pressed the cork of the bottle and held it in his hand to observe.

I saw the green smoke in the pill bottle wriggling and agglomerating in this narrow area, and finally turned into a blue centipede.

It looks very ferocious, but if you look closely, you can find that there are countless small centipedes that make up this big centipede.

"Master, this is..." Chen Fanzhuo was shocked, thinking that such a strange thing existed in a drop of his blood, he shuddered.

"This is the soul of the centipede dendrobium insect. It is a special medicinal material that is not very common. It is generally poisonous. It is more used to track and lock it to provide a location for the caster. However, it can be refined into a poisonous Gu with other methods."

Xu Qing was a little overjoyed, he didn't expect to find such a precious thing recorded in Master Bai's Pharmacopoeia here, so he spoke with satisfaction.

"You have been targeted by someone, and look at the restlessness of this centipede insect soul, the person who is targeting you should not be far from here."

During Xu Qing's words, the cyan centipede in the vial suddenly became irritable and slammed into the vial.

The vial shook violently, but it couldn't escape Xu Qing's palm.

"Huh? The person who is staring at you is approaching."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

Chen Fanzhuo's complexion changed, he bowed solemnly to Xu Qing, then turned and walked towards the gate.

He knew that the master of the pharmacy had no obligation to help him resolve the crisis, and it was already benevolent and righteous to be able to detoxify himself and tell him about it.

If you don't know what is good or bad, and forcibly draw the other party into your personal enmity, this is not in line with your own principles of conduct.

Thinking of this, he walked quickly to the door, pushed open the door of the pharmacy and was about to step out when Xu Qing's voice echoed behind him.

"he came."

The moment Xu Qing's words came out, the sky in Tucheng was surging with wind and clouds at this moment, large groups of fog rolled in the sky, and there were faint sounds of ghosts crying and howling wolves.

The sound was so penetrating that the residents of the city trembled when they heard it, and quickly closed the doors of their homes. Even if they were outside, they immediately found a vacant house to sneak in.

In the blink of an eye, the whole town was empty.

At this moment, the black mist of the sky gathered towards the city, and finally formed a figure on the street.

With clarity, the appearance of this figure is also revealed.

He was an old man, wearing a loose long robe, his Nascent Soul cultivation base was fluctuating, his white hair was fluttering, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth were even more sarcasm.

As for the edge of his robe, there is still some atomization in the wind at this moment.

All of this made the old man look extremely strange.

"Dare to steal my things, you kid is tired of life."

This old man was the one-eyed monk who had provoked Xu Qing. After he had conflicts with Xu Qing, he was always on tenterhooks and full of panic.

In order to avoid Xu Qing, he had to hide. He didn't go out cautiously until he felt that the limelight had passed, but he didn't expect that he once had a cave and it was stolen.

He carefully inspected the traces and judged that the thief's cultivation base should be Jindan, and he was furious.

And he has the habit of poisoning on weekdays, so he followed the trail and found it.

At this moment, with the help of Du Yin's induction, the first time he looked at Chen Fanzhuo, he immediately confirmed that it was the other party who did it, and his eyes could not help showing coldness, and he was about to leave.

But... at the moment Chen Fanzhuo is at the gate of Xu Qing's pharmacy.

The old man glanced at Chen Fanzhuo from the corner of his eye, and at the same time instinctively glanced at the scene in the pharmacy behind him.

So he saw an ugly girl and a young man with an expressionless face inside.

The moment he saw the young man, the old man's eyes shrank suddenly, his footsteps stopped suddenly, his body gradually trembled uncontrollably, and his mind was even more violent.

"This this this..."

"It's him!"

"He's actually here!!"

The old man was short of breath, and his mind was like a million thunders exploding at this moment, and it continued to roar. Not to mention that he was out of his wits, but it was not much better.

It was really his fear of Xu Qing that had reached the extreme. Xu Qing's terrifying fighting power that day made him shudder every time he thought about it.

Especially in his judgment, the other party was an old monster, and his cultivation must be more than that. In addition, Xu Qing's sensitivity was also the reason why the old man was terrified.

Coupled with the ineffectiveness of the poison, all of these made him in an endless crisis of life and death at this moment.

The most important thing is that what he has come now is the main body!
Just as terrified as he was, there was Chen Fanzhuo, who indeed spent a lot of money leading someone to steal a cave some time ago.

The cave looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and there were many valuable objects in it. After holding those objects, he was also terrified, but after observing for a while, he found that no one came to track them down.

So my heart was relaxed, and then I realized that I was poisoned, so I came to the pharmacy.

When Xu Qing was told that he was being tracked and locked just now, he already felt bad.

Now seeing the real master with his own eyes, the fluctuation of the other party's Nascent Soul made him fall into great panic, and even his body lost the ability to escape, so he could only stand there under the huge pressure, trembling and shaking, Reluctantly speak.

"Senior calm down, junior realizes his mistake...all items are still there..."

But his words had no effect, and the old man who frightened him was as frightened as he was right now and dared not move.

The old man didn't care about the trivial matter of the theft of the cave.

Right now, what he thinks about is how he can survive.

Looking at this scene from a distance, it was full of weirdness. Chen Fanzhuo looked at the old man in horror, and the old man looked forward in fear. Both of them dared not move their feet.

For a moment, the scene fell into silence.

And when the old man didn't speak, Chen Fanzhuo's panic became more intense; when Xu Qing didn't speak, the old man's fear was like the sea.

In this life-and-death crisis, the old man's brain turned extremely fast, and he analyzed rapidly.

"This is a pharmacy, and that ugly girl is the source of the scent, and she is clearly Xiao Er when you look at her clothes. This is a pharmacy run by an old monster!"

"The Golden Core thief is so frightened, which means that he is not from the old monster, and there is a high probability that he doesn't know the cultivation of the old monster."

"It must be that the old monster doesn't want to be exposed, so why is he hiding here?"

"Because he has some mysterious plans!"

"And my appearance and performance may have indirectly exposed the cultivation of this old monster, thus affecting his mysterious arrangement. In this way, he will definitely take his anger out on me."

"If I turn around and run away, it will be the same ending!"

"I can't fight and I can't fight, I can't escape..."

The old man was so entangled in his heart that when he was in a dilemma, his eyes turned red.

While Chen Fanzhuo's mind was trembling more and more, the old man gritted his teeth fiercely, raised his foot and stepped forward, the expression on his face changed from the serious before to ecstasy in an instant, and he shouted excitedly.

"Grandpa, are you here too?"

Chen Fanzhuo was taken aback.
